The copper version looks very cool.
I have two of these Hario pots in stainless. It's pretty much the iconic pour over pot. It does what it does fine. No complaints there. You can make a great cup of coffee with it.
What I don't like about it, however, is the balance of the pot.
When you hold the handle to do a pour, the whole thing feels very front heavy. The weight is pitched really far forward and your wrist really strains to pivot it up to a level position. Even when you tilt it down to to pour, you're really working hard to control it as the weight is so far out in front. It feels poorly designed in that regard.
The pivot point is far back, closer to your hand and not near the mass of water, so your wrist really struggles to hold up the pot and control it. Look at the product picture to see how far away the handle is from the water's center of mass. Also look at the pictures of the guys pouring the kettle and imagine the forces on the wrist needed to level or lower, and control the pot.
The balance point and uneven leverage really work against you. It's more tiring using this pot than it should be. And the way the bottom of handle angles even further away from the center of mass makes it even worse.
After a while, I got another gooseneck kettle that I feel is superior. It's made by Kalita. You can see how the design differs.
The body of this pot is taller and thinner, so the side walls are closer to the center of mass, and the handle hugs much closer to the body, and therefore, the center of mass. This makes holding and controlling the pot, and pouring the water, significantly easier. Compared to the Hario, using the Kalita feels almost effortless. See the attached picture.
Additionally, the Kalita kettle is made from a much thicker and robust gauge of stainless steel. The Hario feels like flimsy sheet metal by comparison. After I got this Kalita pot, I relegated the Hario to guest and friend use and rarely use it myself.
Still, the Hario is iconic, looks good, and does the job. It's just not the best designed kettle for

This is a nice price for the kettle. I rock the stainless steel one for years and was thinking about the copper one this weekend!!! But mine is still usable since 2005 so why upgrade........ But I really love the copper one.

steverhinehartOoof, yeah, looking a little closer at the pictures you can definitely see the copper kettle having a slimmer profile relative to the 2 steel designs. @Drop Please update the Details for this drop if the copper kettle being sold as 1.2L is in fact 25% smaller than that :/

I am pretty sure only the Copper model comes with a Silicone handle.
The cheaper Steel (and most likely the Black one also) come with plastic handles.

It would be very on brand considering that you haven't made a single sensible comment yet. What other materials would you make a kettle? I don't think I'd want an aluminium kettle due to durability. Cast iron would be just as bad if not worse because of the thickness needed (thermal conductivity is inversely related to wall thickness) and would be much heavier. Enameled steel is your only other choice (other than copper which doesn't even need an argument) which has durability concerns and is susceptible to rusting.

CodaCatThe inside surfaces are nickel-plated and the whole thing has a clear coat. That coat will get wrecked if you heat it while dry, so always make sure to have water in the kettle when it's on the heat.
